In answer to your second question: it depends on what you find depressing.
I love being snuggled in by dense cloud cover, and I love the rain. I’m not susceptible to S.A.D.
I like evergreen trees and mountains and water and moderate temperatures. So the PNW is like a perfect vacation experience for me year-round.
Other people are used to the prairies with wide open clear skies and hot hots and cold colds. Other people prefer equatorial climates with lots of sun, humidity, and storms that rush in and rush out again.
Part of my childhood was spent in a desert region. Wake up early and go for a walk with the dogs before it got too hot, beautiful. Come back, chug a glass of pure water and sit in the shade in our little green oasis.

They probably wouldn’t do so well in the PNW.
Not to sound dumb, but what is S.A.D?
Seasonal Affective Disorder - a mood disorder triggered by serotonin/melatonin regulation issues, normally caused by not enough sunlight exposure.
Thank you.
I’m a transplant to the PNW and I absolutely love the rain, but unfortunately I am very susceptable to S.A.D. Sometimes I just really miss the sun
